Selecting the Right Media-Isolated Pressure Sensor for Industrial OEM Applications
Industrial OEMs designing systems for harsh gases and liquids face a common challenge: how to measure pressure accurately while protecting the sensing element from corrosive, contaminated, or high-energy media. Oil-filled, media-isolated pressure sensors remain one of the most proven and reliable solutions for these environments—provided the sensor’s mechanical interface, packaging, and electrical output are aligned with the system architecture. AVSensors offers a family of m
